IHH was behind the Mavi Marmara, which was part of a flotilla of vessels traveling to Gaza in 2010, ostensibly to deliver humanitarian aid and medical supplies, but in reality it was simply an attempt to defy Israel’s sovereignty and was meant to support the Palestinian Hamas terror organization, which rules Gaza. The only humanitarian aid found on board were boxes of expired medications.

IDF forces boarded the ship and were viciously assaulted. They killed 10 Turkish nationals while defending themselves, and several IDF soldiers suffered wounds as well.

The IHH posted a series of tweets on Monday stating that the families of those killed were not consulted in any way regarding the possible agreement between Israel and Turkey, the Turkish Zaman Today reported on Tuesday.

“Families of martyrs: We would like to state, first and foremost, that the negotiations with Israel are ongoing without our consent,” one of the tweets read.

Another tweet stated that the families of the martyrs were upset that the government overlooked the “reason for their [family members’] departure” and engaged in negotiations that prioritize compensation.

According to reports, as part of the reconciliation between the two countries, Israel would compensate the families of those killed on the ship while Turkey would retract any lawsuits against Israel, but the families view this as an “insult” and claimed that the primary objective is not compensation but the lifting of the blockade on Gaza.

They also claimed that the compensation Israel would pay should stem from the acknowledgement that they committed a “torturous act,” not out of “graciousness,” and should be paid to all participants who were on board the ship.
